168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mercedes have been reminded t🔴hat their hugely encouraging round in Canada came at an “outlie🍃r” track.

The true test of whether Toto Wo🅠lff’s team have finally turned a corner with their troublesome car could𝓰 come this weekend in Barcelona, they have been told.

The F1 Spanish Grand Prix will offer Mercedes the opportunity to build upon George R🍒ussell’s pole position, then P3 finish, in Montre𒀰al last time out.

Le🎃wis Hamilton was fourth in Canada at a round where 🐎Mercedes out-performed Ferrari.

“It’s been a long time since they’ve had a car that looks anything like🧸 a car they could campaign with,” Damon Hill told the Sky F1 podcast.

“The dri🎃vers were happy. Lewis was notably very happy. It’s not the first time - he’s been happy on a few Fridays but it seems to fade away.

“George did a great job with the car that ⛎he ha🉐d to get pole position.

“The car looked g𓆉ood on the🐼 track. Jacques mentioned that it looked planted. He’s right.

“It wasn’t ski❀ttish, it wasn’t porpoising, they could use a bit of kerb.

“They are comfortable, happy. The new fr♋ont wing 🧔seems to be the trick that has harmonised the aerodynamics and brought performance.

“But it is an outlier track, Canada.

“To go to Barcelona is the uꦐltimate test of their progress.

“Barcelona is꧟ like a wind tunnel, it’s pure aero. Medium to high speed everywhere.”

Naomi Schiff added: “You can tell the direction they’re going in is cl𝐆early working.

“Whether that’s because they are developing the car, rather than jꦺust putting out fi🍌res, I am not entirely sure.

“So many times Mercedes have brought updates that worked ꦕbetter than expected. Or others that they were expecting a lot out of, and there was not correlation between back at base and🌸 on track.

“Now, what they’ve done has unlocked potential that was alreaꩲd🦩y in the car.

“Everyone is singing t🐈he praiꦓses of the front wing.

“But it’s not necessarily just the fr💖ont wing that brings performance.

“It’s the correlation of what it’s doing with how it is interacting with the res♓t of the car.

“Canada is an outlier. Barcelona has proven to be, in the past, because of its variation of corners, a track that♚ can give an indication of how a car will peꦏrform at other circuits.”

This weekend’s F1 Spanish Gꩵrand Prix kickstarts a triple-heading includ꧙ing Austria and Silverstone.
